Shaw of Dartmouth won from Robbins of Yale in the low hurhurdles by only a yard in 15 2-5 seconds. The 100-yard dash went to Stevens of Yale in 10 seconds, with Whitman of Pennsylvania second.
Burroughs of Illinois won both the 16-pound shot-put and the discus-throw with 44 feet, 5 inches and 123 feet, 6 inches, respectively. L. W. Bangs '08 was third in the shot-put with an actual put of 43 feet, 1-2 inch.
